Well that was an interesting few days! Over 450mls fell in just over 48 hours from Sunday evening till Tuesday evening and we are all feeling quite damp! Some incredible photos have been doing the rounds but the good news is that the course has coped well, it is draining beautifully. The dams are full. Luckily no major damage has occurred and the tidying up shouldn’t take too long.

A few wild strelitzias trees came down in the car park. Sadly some Southbroomers lost their boundary walls and many reported water just pounding through their properties and homes. The rain was just incredible. It just kept on pouring down.

The lower Margate town flooded again down near the Sasol Garage, but the cleanup is well under way.
Sunny skies are on the cards for the weekend and the preparations for Margate Bike week are all systems go, starting tomorrow Friday the 26th.

Southbroom Main Beach will come back, as it always does, but it is quite a sight to see it all washed away at the moment. There is a village drive to help clear the beaches and tidal pool of the debris collected. Thanks to our Ratepayers Committee and Water Committee for their tireless work around the village for sorting out sink holes, alerting homeowners of problems, checking on the water reservoirs etc, etc. The Southbroom News UpdatesFacebook Page is a great way of communicating problem areas and warnings.

An sweet start to Easter

Luckily the Easter weekend had started with fabulous weather on Friday. Thanks To Trevor and Yolande of Southbroom Supermarket for their delicious hot cross bun sponsorship for all the winners in the Good Friday Alliance Comp!

Saturday Open Allliance was well supported and the evening in the clubhouse was totally full. The Alchins 21st was happening in Mulligans and the Southbroom Legends were entertaining a packed clubhouse. It was great! The dinner was pronounced superb, the dance floor was full and all enjoyed the evening. Thanks again to our extra special Southbroom Legends: Band Mel, Richard, Des and Deon! Together with guest artist acts from Tom Jones, Bob Dylan, Malcolm & Joy – you guys rock!

Armed with your wedge chart and your favourite distance with your favourite wedge, you’ll know where to lay-up if you can’t get to the green with your approach. That’s better game management. Every golfer, whatever their handicap, should have a wedge chart.

Fill your wedge chart

To gauge a distance for each of your swings for each wedge can be difficult without assistance. So why not book a session with us. Let’s complete your wedge chart and at the same time, we can look over your three swings. Maybe there are other improvements.

You know your position at address and impact is different. The setup is exactly that. It’s the correct setup to allow you to make a great swing, returning to what is sometimes referred to as the ”stacked” position at impact. How do you look at impact?

Improvement makes the game more fun

Whatever your level, a small improvement in ball striking quality, makes a BIG change in how much fun you have out on the golf course. It’s time for better.
